A mismatched couple meet on a blind date in Manhattan... as Stuart and Nicole progress from love to marriage to discussions about starting a family, their relationship faces the challenges of critical friends, emotionally-demanding relatives, time-consuming careers, different religions and the stresses caused by the endless negotiations all couples wage daily.
